Youth Maritime Collaborative aboard Tacoma
As we build our workforce, it’s important that we attract young and diverse candidates. Not just for our current hiring push <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDAsIn

two weeks. This is an unfortunate example of how delicate our crewing situation remains and how trialing full service on our Edmonds/Kingston route could put our other runs with restored
service in jeopardy. However, we will continue to add a second vessel on our Edmonds/Kingston route daily as crewing allows.
